I Might Even Add a Moat!

someone once told me,

“we put walls up so other people will break them down,”

but what if that’s just not true for me?

what if mine are there to keep you out?

what if I’m happier and safer

alone inside my walls?

what if there are walls within my walls?

the first one, stone

the next one, steel

the comfort of loneliness has no contenders

especially with the way you make me feel

I’ll cackle as you cut yourself on my barbed wire

smile at the electric shocks of your every touch

my wall is mine

I’ve slaved to build it

blood

sweat

tears

I like being inside

away from the torture of others

the ones that try to take my soul

perhaps the time has come for another wall

and don’t you dare fucking touch it
